Aspartate transferase (AST) is an enzyme that mostly occurs in the liver, though it can be found in the heart, brain, and other body parts as well. AST processes amino acids and helps control energy production. When AST levels in the blood are too high, it can signal a problem with the liver.
Healthcare professionals use AST tests and other types of screenings to diagnose patients. With the DrOwl app, you can manage and review blood tests, diagnostic exams, and other data easily from a mobile device or computer. Our app also provides AI-driven explanations of complex clinical language.
Liver injury can cause a greater number of enzymes to be released into the blood. Liver damage can be caused by:
AST tests are usually performed as part of liver function tests or comprehensive metabolic panels. When getting AST levels tested, patients may also receive an alanine transaminase screening, which is another type of enzyme primarily found in the liver.
DrOwl lets patients digitally store AST and ALT test results, along with results from other types of screenings and exams. Our app also explains confusing medical terms and jargon using a specialty AI tool.
While generative AI platforms are trained on large, unrefined sets of data, DrOwl focuses exclusively on clinical documentation. You can also use our app to share records with others and check for errors.
